Ummidia ferghanensis Decae & Mammola & Rizzo & Isaia 2019, n. comb.
Description
Ummidia ferghanensis (Kroneberg 1875) n. comb.
Cteniza ferghanensis Kroneberg, 1875: 27, pl. 3, f. 18 (Dj).
Sterrhochrotus ferghanensis Simon, 1892: 97.
The original description of C. ferghanensis (Kroneberg, 1875) contains illustrations of the eye-formation, lateral carapace, rastellum and spine-group on the distal female palp segments (Kroneberg 1875: figs. 18a–e). All these illustrations clearly indicate that Kroneberg’s species is a member of the Ummidinae (sensu Raven 1985) rather than Cteniza. We therefore transfer C. ferghanensis to the genus Ummidia. This transfer gains support from the origin of Kroneberg’s specimen from Central Asia, a region from where Ummidia is reportedly known to occur (Zonstein 2007).
